pnpm recursive link-if-present foo

[vjpr]

Say I have a monorepo and I want to symlink a package I am developing locally (but outside of the monorepo).

There are multiple packages using this package in my project.

I want a command that will pnpm link <pkg> if <pkg> is already present in the package.json for all packages. This would respect --scope too.

The workaround would be using lerna recursive exec -- \$PNPM_ROOT_PATH/scripts/link-if-preset.sh, and putting the logic in there. Would be better to use pnpm recursive exec (#1227).

Naming

Other names might be symlink, dev-link, local-link.

I think it would be good to have this as the default behavior. So link would only link packages that are dependencies and something like add-link would add a new dependency as link. That will be a breaking change though, so for now, maybe a new command would be fine. Maybe link-dep
